★★★Edit:The answer is almost a half and two years old, when I was in my third year. A lot of things must have surely changed by then and therefore I urge you to check with those studying there to get a knack of what exactly isngoing on.Also, please understand that barring the IITs, there are few quality alternatives in general available to us. However, consider the quality of individual departments and the merot of the faculty rather than the reputation of the college to which you apply.DCE as a college has ceased to exist and though there isn't a lot that has changed, there is a lot that has, and it will therefore depend on what parameters you value your education by that you will be able to grasp the quality (or the lack thereof) of DTU.Of course the review to a large extent will depend on the branch to which a kid belongs (due to variations in faculty, work load, facilities, etc.) but I'll try to be objective here.I'll write the review from the point of view of what a prospective undergrad student should be aware of.Major changes DTU v/s DCEThe biggest change has been the intake. In general the amount of kids per branch has risen directly and the number of branches have also been mindlessly increased. The fees has now become almost threefold as compared to what used to be for the enrolment year 2K9. The uptake is that for a higher price you are essentially receiving an inferior education because the resources haven't matched the increase in available seats.The examination laws have seen improvements and have become more friendly though not very proactive and still very regressive. e.g. The back clearance procedure is still the same whereby no additional back exams are conducted during summer or winter breaks but all back candidates are tendered the subject papers being given to those attempting a course for the first time, i.e. if you receive a back in subject A in 3rd semester, you can only attempt that paper in the next odd semester with your juniors.it is now possible for former students as well as current to fully repeat a course including attending classes and reattempting both the internals and the finals by paying a per subject fee.Edit: Through unconfirmed sources I have heard that the schedule of back papers has been made slightly more student friendly, in that backs in odd semesters are conducted in the even semester.The lab resources have become drastically limited per person, accommodation on the campus has become extremely limited due to higher intake without infrastructural addition.New faculty added is generally of a much inferior quality as compared to the earlier ones, and the difference is often stark, though this is highly dependent on your branch. The mass exodus of earlier faculty and HODs after the DCE->DTU saga has left the faculty threadbare in general.The college now conducts increased master's programmes as well as courses in MBA for engineering grads.The number of subjects imposed on a student (there are practically no electives, more on that later) has increased and the syllabi in each course has generally increased. This increase however, is of a very facetious nature as the course is still largely outdated and redundant.The emphasis on practical learning has dropped further with any worthwhile undergraduate research happening on the back of a student's extreme willingness, eagerness and networking skills wrt the faculty. Research work at faculty level has increased in amount after mandatory research requirements though the quality has not risen appreciably.Master's programmes have certainly seen more placements. I'll talk about placements in detail in a later section.The degree awarded has been changed from BE to BTech.2. Quality of educationThis is a very important aspect because one of the many ostensible reasons given for changing DCE to DTU had been to 'improve the quality of education.'However, from the major changes section you can glean that the overall quality of education has come down.The current trend is that the non-core soft branches, i.e. Computer Science, IT, Math & Computing (an underhand trick to increase intake in computing really, M & C requires highly specialised faculty and facilities which are currently not up to the mark) Software engineering are genrally okay, BUT FOR ONE REASON ONLY: these branches require minimal input in terms of infra.Recently, many respected industrial experts refused to hire students of automobile engineering for lack of proper training facilities for these students and an undefined structure in the syllabus of the branch. The college's nifty solution: Change the name of the branch to mechanical, VOILA!Generally, you'll have a tough time becoming a skilled engineer in core fields, i.e. in Electrical, Mechanical, Production and Civil because the college does not have adequate infrastructure. You'll have to be highly self motivated as most of your collegial studies will be totally theoretical with any practical knowledge gain predicated on:1. working for a project under a knowledgeable faculty.2. arranging for industrial trainings yourself (some HODs and faculty might help with it)3. By joining a respectable technical team (one where Le Pabbu-the VC does not interfere directly)There are some excellent professors in all departments though and if you are one of those people who can handle the very real Indian administrative bureaucracy culture that exists in this college, then you can even get a few things done for yourself. After all, there are indeed a few good things available here:1. Biodiesel Lab: the central facility for biodiesel in the northern region2. Dspace3. Power Electronics lab4. Robotics labThe worst possible thing that can happen in core branches however is the constant meddling the syllabus and lack of individual choice, growth and electives (more on that later.) I personally saw the syllabus of electrical engineering changed at the beginning of 3rd,4th,5th and 6th semester in order to create visible differences between Electrical Engg. and Electrical & Electronics Engg.There is little to no emphasis on practical and technological training and more on just attending lectures in order to clear examinations: What I am trying to say here is that the education scenario here is much the same as in any good public school - it is frankly a school and not a university.Branch wise break-up:1. Mechanical Engineering: good faculty, average infra facilities, coursework okay, amount of effort needed is reasonable2. Electrical Engineering: A handful of the faculty is exceptional, most are way below average, severe mismanagement of teaching resources (though that will hopefully change with the appointment of Professor Madhusudan as the HOD).A lot of hardwork required due to: Large syllabus and weird faculty tantrums. Little to no infrastructure availability. The LIC and power electronics faculty and facilties are good. (with the bespectacled lab guy there the most helpful and resourceful person I ever met). I have often used these labs and was never refused for equipment.Most of the time will be spent in rote learning and hand-written assginments. The emphasis on genuine creativity is very very low and this is true for all branches.The syllabus is as yet vaguely defined.3. Electrical & Electronics Engineering:Same as above, except for a few more electronics side subjects. Once again, the emphasis is on rote learning and clearing exams and you won't really become much of an engineer until you fight on your own.4. Electronics & Communication:Subject matter is good, but once again the emphasis is on rote learning. To be really good you'll have to be self motivated. The ECE department however does avail its students various external opportunities to learn.Light workload, the examinations are relatively easy. Good branch if you intend to pursue masters outside india.5. Soft branches (Software, IT, Computers Science):Light workload, easy examsThe syllabus is generally well defined and relevant to industry.As with any other non-IIT college, you'll have to be self motivated if you think of yourself as a person beyond a coding or a non-tech job, i.e. if you really think of yourself as a highly motivated individual willing to push the boundaries, you'll receive little help from your coursework.6. Civil EngineeringLight coursework, easy exams, good placements (although I hear conflicting stories about Civil placements, but industrial requirement is certainly there).No drafting courses in any of the semesters (except the first year where everyone has a mandatory manual drafting course)Teaching in civil is often erratic, a lot of it is off the industrial requirements. The HOD is a very learned man.7. Automobile Engineering:Totally hazardous choice, the branch is currently in total limbo.8. Production Engineering:The conditions are pretty similar to mechanical.NOTE: IF QUALITY OF EDUCATION AND LEARNING WITH EMPHASIS ON REAL ENGINEERING IS WHAT YOU ARE LOOKING FOR, DON'T ENROL IN A CORE BRANCH IN DTU.9. Engineering Physics:It is actually a fun branch with a very diverse coursework - one good enough to obviate the need for electives. Around 70% of the course work is congruent with electronics and communication so it is a good alternative for those who would like to pursue electronics but don't make the cut-off for ECE (damn this weird system of branch first, talent later).10. Bio-Tech Engineering:Highly theoretical in how it is being run at DTU. But you'll get good grades so if you want to pursue master's from outside I'd say go for it. Plus the current industrial requirement for BioTech grads is good so that works out too. Don't expect too much innovation though, unless you are willing to go above and beyond the rest of your peers.11. Polymer and Chemical Technology:Light coursework, easy but lengthy exams. LOTS OF TIME TO PURSUE YOUR INTERESTS! Very theoretical, rote and exam oriented in how it is taught here. Faculty is adequate, the enrolment is generally low so faculty student ratio is better than the dismal ratio all over the college - this means you get to have more lively discussions with the faculty if the faculty is not a snob and not very egotistic.12. Environmental EngineeringVery similar to civil in terms of quality of teaching and learning. Coursework is generally light but very theoretical. The faculty is below average, but it is easy to score with a reasonable amount of effort.13. Mathematics & Computing:Introduced only in 2012 so can't say much. Rumour is that it would be hard to justify the obtuse teacher:student ratio if seats in CS were increased so this is a dummy branch just for that.Coursework and Electives:After the formation of DTU, there was a major shuffle in the coursework. Essentially, old subjects were merged, a sixth subject was added in each of the the first four semesters (DCE had five in the first six, four in the seventh and three in the eighth) with reallocation happening on the fly if the current third years of a branch groaned under the load. So essentially, this restructuring was an exercise in gobbledygook which only caused pain and discomfort for most students. Why?1. Increased workload: Think about it, college is a time for independent development yet your time is being scuttled with added workload. The worst part is that a lot of it is only theory and no real substance. So all you end up doing is mugging for one extra paper.2. What difference did it make: What you normally would have studied in fourth year, you are now studying in the third and so forth. This is good right? You get to learn more stuff in the fourth year, right? Nope, sorry. What happens is that without addition of good quality faculty, increased branches and subjects results in lower quality of pedagogy. So you end up - mugging for a paper!3. Subjects are still changed on the fly. So you're never really sure what you'll end up studying.Electives: Most good institutes have electives starting from the second year itself. DTU, like DCE, follows the pattern of offering electives only in the fourth year. This works for some and not for others, so suit yourself.There are two kinds of electives: open and common, one of each.Under open elective, you can select any available subject (however, if most of your classmates select other electives and your elective doesn't have enough students, you'll have to change your elective, period)Under common elective, the entire class decides on one elective. Tyranny by majority, anyone?It still won't matter however as due to scheduling problems and other such irks, they'll offer you the first available faculty member and you'll be reading the topic he/she teaches.3. ExaminationExaminations are conducted twice every semester: mid semesters and end semesters. The exam papers are totally what you would expect from a school: theoretical in nature with questions that would ask you to define and explain stuff rather than questions that will make you think for yourself and help you become better at your job. Rote learning rules, any kind of deviation from expected answers is frowned upon. The emphasis is on printing down what you remember from the book and lectures, and not HOW AND WHY.The funny part is students end up complaining if a paper asks for applied concepts. I suppose that happens when you are not used to using your knowledge at an abstract rather than regurgitation level.The back and improvement rules are pretty wobbly so avoid these pitfalls at all costs (refer to part 1)4. PlacementThis college is a pawn shop. You come here, grind your stuff for about three years in order to get placed at a good company. This is what the college has come to be and this is what most students coming here expect to get; or rather want from their lives.The institute can hardly be called a place for learning with most people's dreams ending at getting a job that pays well and not really being about a good education that will add value to and enrich their lives.However, the college has good placement statistics, please refer to: Delhi Technological University - Delhi College of Engineering - Opps! for more.Like all things known in mass media, statistics are prone to lies and omissions.Edit: Placement is a highly economic phenomenon. If the demand is there, hiring will take place.5. FacultyFaculty is a real enigma. A lot of the members of the faculty are a diabolical bunch: Highly egotistic, lacking in knowledge yet very critical of genuine student enquiry, They all love ass kissers.Most of the newer faculty, hired over the past 5 years, is total crap.Even a lot of good faculty members are very stolid in their world view. They are like grumpy people unwilling to adopt to the changes in the modern world around them, unwilling to accept the openness and speed of change of the modern world - both in terms of technology and sociological mindsets.There are indeed, however, a few gem of faculties. You should thoroughly research the members of the faculties of the branch you intend to pursue, by finding more about them on the internet. In EE,/EEE from the top of my head: Prof. Madhusudan, Prof. Pragati Kumar, Prof. Vishal Verma.6. Campus and Location,The campus is Beatific and well maintained. The streets are nice, the road drainage system is quite good. The architecture is majestic, especially if seen from an aerial view. The floor space index is however abysmally low. All buildings have no more than 4 floors. It beats me as to why buildings are not built keeping future need for room and space in mind.The entire campus is replete with greens and there are lots of parks which lend themselves beautifully to the utility and structure of the campus.The open air amphitheatre is delectable, look here:​​The library and knowledge park are one of the few saving graces of an otherwise decadent education scenario.The library is well stocked and new useful books are added at regular intervals. If one gets out of the rut of following just the suggested course-books and goes forth to explore, there are myriads of good books to be found on every technical topic. The non-technical section, though not very vast, has some books that are rare to find now.Knowledge Park is essentially a collection of offices, a conference table and computers connected to a very high speed internet connection. The accessibility is however, low, with access to B.Tech students granted on patronizing or on being members of a college project team.Hostels:Hostel buildings are well, hostel buildings. Only one hostel boasts of a power backup (though power cuts are very rare). They are modest, to say the least. The shared bathrooms can be a pain, especially in boys hostel where most people have no sense/regard for cleanliness and hygiene. A lot of rooms have seepage, peeling plasters and other such 'normal' problems Incidentally, the hostel authorities treat you like scum (most of the time) and the hostel administration think that hostel residents are supposed to be referred to as 'inmates' (technically an inmate is someone jailed at a well... prison, medical ward,etc.) The girls' residential quarters have a curfew time of 9PM while the boys' residential quarters have no such restrictions. All male students, however have to be inside the college premises by 11PM, officially. All hostels have an ethernet based internet connection which acts as any normal LAN. The college however acts as big brother and denies access to anything useful if it remotely violates the outdated sense of immoral modesty. So most sites like Youtube, social networks and even linux software portals are blocked (though any decent proxy would get around that). The speeds are decent and overall the network is good.UPDATE: The new OIC of Hostel Office is a royal B****D. Everything with him is an ego issue. An abysmal pain! (Dr. Pushpendra Singh, I think all you need is a shaved anus and a willingness to put out to get a PhD at DTU.)The institution provides decent preliminary medical care.The gymnasium facilities are the deplorable. The sports facilities are nothing to write about either. There is a field, two outdoor basketball courts, an ill maintained football field and a 'cemented' thingy called the 'lawn tennis court'.All residential areas have badminton courts with proper turfs. A few hostels have ping-pong tables. There is a sports complex facility which however remains forever locked (like it's some treasure that must be saved from filthy little humans) so I don't know what's in there though I suspect it's a pool that fallen prey to disuse. A new sports building (more like a single floor large room) was recently built for indoor sports facilities, but it remains mostly locked except during the annual sports meet. (It has an indoor basketball court, table tennis, etc.)UPDATE:the old sports complex building i suspected of housing a swimming pool had none. It has been renovated and made into a gymnasium. It has odd timings, even then always opening late and closing early, with utter disregard for utility to students. It is not even big enough to accommodate the rush it saw when I was still at DTU.The new indoor sports facility had started to see more footfall in the evening.Food: The mess food isn't a grand affair. It's better than what your parents had if they lived in a government hostel but you'd be amiss to expect anything above edible and an occasional delight or two. It's still better than a lot of government hostels, from what I have heard.Canteen: The college has very many canteens: The central cafeteria: or the Mech Canteen, Nescafe, Mic-Mac and a stall in the Electrical block.The canteen food is decent. The prices have been notoriously increased over the last two years, with something now costing double than what they used to. Okay, some of it is justified under 'inflation' but a lot of is just barefaced profiteering. e.g. If the cost of cooking a plate of dosa goes up by Rs.2, the prices are nonchalantly increased by Rs. 5.The surroundings: The surroundings are turgid. There's a stationery and books store (Future Point: it is a monopoly, and therefore the store commands higher prices than your Nai Sarak, Daryaganj and Ber Sarai), a few pop and mom stores, juice store, fruit vendor and two recharge shops smack in front of the gate. The college is located on the posterior of Rohini sector 17. Essentially it is located in a semi-urban deluge. All boys' hostel have somehow come to be located near a source of noise (read: temples that will blare their megaphones for 72 hours straight starting from the night of your exams), especially the Aryabhatt or T1 hostel cluster. Sector 17 Rohini is abut the college and it has all the shops you are going to need for all kinds of needs. The more adventurous type can venture to the malls located on the inner ring road near the Rithala Metro Station. There are lots of eateries in and around sector 16 and 17. The localities are choc-full of students living as renters, with local dwellers being a blend of West Delhi and East Delhi kind. The people, though not as stocked, well dressed and good looking as south Delhi folks, are usually genial and friendly and much more helpful. The bus connectivity is decent, and the nearest metro station Rithala is 3.5km or ten rupees away. An extension to the yellow line (which ends at Jehangirpuri) is being built which will connect people directly to the yellow line which incidentally, is currently 6km or 70 rupees away(by auto, 10 by bus if you will board one).7. AvenuesOwing to its popularity and a combination of other positive factors, the college does attract a lot of talent, though the institution does mostly squat to nourish and engender it.The biggest strength of the institution, undoubtedly are its students. Some of the students here are individuals with a heightened sense of being and do actually make a difference to the world around them. It is ironic then, that the administrative department treats students like scum.The college has very many technical and non-technical societies (more on that later) to choose from.There is a decent confluence of like-minded people who can easily start something of their own if they are up for it.There is about decent exposure to the current and the latest happenings in engineering and technology; though one must be discerning enough to know which ones are worth one's time. Some really good opportunities will sneak up from under you if you aren't paying attention but then that's true of everything in life.8. Extra Curriculars and SocietiesThe college has lot to offer in terms of the very many technical societies and non-technical interest one can pursue, but this is all on paper. The ground reality however, is that most societies are like treasures in a dump. Even if joining one works out for you, you'd still be in a dump. This is something very personal to one's behaviour and belief in organised crime so this is rather irreverent.On the sports front, the college is genial, and that is saying a lot. Team sports can be a pain as getting into any team involves a substantial factor of who you know.The college has the usual mix of non-technical organisations like MUN,AISEC, etc. This is again a very personal choice as to what you'd rather be a part of.All I can say is there is an appreciable quantity of things to do.There is however, one thing I'd like to add: Most fourth years students would recommend against becoming a paid member of any society and I must say they are right. There are no extra benefits that you'll avail as every journal, conference, activity, etc offered is equally accessible for everyone and a rupee or two you'd save as a member for workshops would be far lower than the amount you'll eventually save by not paying for society memberships.Refer here: http://www.dce.edu/web/Sections/Life/culturalsocieties.php9. Interdisciplinary Studies: Non existent, frowned upon by most faculty members (this little devil is seen during student projects where you'll admonished for doing something absolutely brilliant in electronics if you are say, a polymer student).10. Management:The level of management control is high and the administration is (like i have said before) despotic. Babu culture is highly prevalent. Social engineers (those with good inter personal skills) can overcome this problem with their glib behaviour. There are a lot of arbitrary 'official' charges. e.g. You'll be charged a Rs. 200 'fine' for asking for a bona fide certificate.Someone did not allegedly say that DTU is the most corrupt university in North India.11. Students' Union activitiesThe process of students' union formation was changed after the severance from the Delhi University.The allotment of the top students union position: The President, The Vice President, The Secretary and the Treasurer is allegedly rigged with candidates unsuitable according to 'he who must not be named' removed through one technicality or the other. The past two students' union have resulted in catastrophe, seen most visibly in the sports meet (called ARENA) and the cultural festival (Engi-fest, now know as the Engi-farce).12. Culture And Crowd:In my personal opinion, the crowd factor saw a drastic dip with my batch, reached an all time low in 2K11, shot up somewhat in 2k12 and has generally eased out to a permanent lower level than before, though not by more than say 10%.You'll find all kinds of people here: Dumb people doing crazy stuff, excitable people, good looking people, not so good looking proles,etc etc.The biggest minus point of the crowd factor, however, is the cloistered and bigoted mindset of a lot of people here. The quality of communication skills that people possess has seen an unprecedented hit. A lot of people getting enrolled here have a very eerie set of beliefs which includes: misogyny fanatic religious allegiance, narrowed view of the world around, etc.Having said that, the college is after all in Delhi and if you look out, you'll find birds of your own clique. So if you're a plain old rich snob or a social enthusiast, you'll find your peers eventually.To show for culture, the college has a cultural fest called the Engifest followed by annual technical festivals of various societies. Please read about culture here:DCE ComplimentsDCE ConfessionsH3_October_2011.pdf13. Research and Technological Advancement:Faculty level research has picked up in the last two years.The most interesting development work is undertaken by the various project teams in college. A lot of times however, this is just hype, as I have said before.The college has an uncanny habit of resting on past laurels and discarding (or even totally junking) old developed works once they have served their purpose of getting enough publicity for the college and 'he who must not be named.'All said and done, the college does perform useful research and more opportunities are available for under-grads now than before, especially those willing to partner a faculty member in a project.Some notable college teams are: Team UAS DTU, Team Motus, Team AUV.14. Miscellaneous: Opportunity & Equity, Quality of Life, Non-Technical Outreach,Contribution to SocietyIn terms of opportunity, it's really up to the student to stand up for his rights. Other students would rather ridicule and dissuade you than help you if standing up to the authority (for wrongdoings) for your ideals is what you'd rather do. Like I said, this is practically a school and not a college.THe jugaad system and chalta hai stuff works just fine in DTU, with people being able to sneak into project teams - without putting in an ounce of work - through contacts (don't want to name any names here).Quality of life will be fairly good. I mean you would be living in Delhi, with all the myriad opportunities the metropolis provides. The hostel charges are nominal (at least they used to be for my batch), and if you don't indulge in very many things requiring extra effort, life would still be nice.Non-technical outreach, I think, is limited to the students' entrepreneurial spirit. Some students would tell you that societies like SIFE (students in Free Enterprise) really work for non-technical outreach but it is a farce. Don't take my word for it though, do your own research.A lot of people work for social upliftment in groups. e.g. The Yes+ cult of DTU. Though they can be very obnoxious, and they are sneaky liars (they say they lie for a good cause, well...) they still do a lot to help others around them. Many of these volunteers help nearby dwellers and children of orphanages, you get the drift, they are voluntary social workers - swayamsevak.UPDATE: I have had my fair share of run-ins with THE ADMINISTRATION. From my personal experience I can tell you it is a royal pillar-to-post hand in ass race. But I must talk about the VC.The VC, in bullets then:He will generally act on personal e-mails sent to him.He has a very sadistic way of solving some problems.He will definitely talk your ear off with his noble dealings and great achievements.If done tactfully, a lot of personal level student problems can be sorted with his help.If you want to kiss ass, he's your go to guy, intermediate input, max output.Don't mess with him unless he's your family friend, you're from the Congress parivar, you got the dough (catch the drift)FINAL VERDICT - WHY YOU SHOULD BE HERE/WHY YOU SHOULDN'T BE HEREAlthough the review i believe is exhaustive, I may have missed out a few things, so i suppose to clarify them as the case may be.Having said that, my Final Verdict is:Hind sight is like a hangover after a night of binge drinking - it may teach you to pace yourself for the future, but it's still a headache.Selecting which college to go to is a decision that will bear on your life for a long time after you have received your degree and said adios to your alma mater. Far too many of us select colleges on the word-of-mouth without doing any actual research as to how suitable the place we'll be going to is for our growth and aspirations.Yes, a lot of you won't get into the IITs BITS (All the campuses - they have better facilities and better teacher:student ratio for god's sake!) and for better or for worse, your numskull won't come round the fact that engineering isn't the only vocation on earth. Hell, more than half the engineer grads don't even end up doing engineering stuff in their jobs. So you should know exactly what are good reasons and what are bad reasons to come to DTU:WHY YOU SHOULD BE HERE:If you don't mind living like a school kid, and just mugging for exams and getting through things works for you so long as there is a placement at the end of the tunnelIf all you want is a career/job in computing and have got through to the soft branches (CS/IT/Software)If your parents are loaded and you just want an education in DelhiIf there's no place better that you can go to.If you are hell bent on staying in Delhi and won't go to NSIT or IIIT or NIT-Delhi.If you plan for a master's and are from non-core branchesIf you like to kiss assIf you get a top 2K rank and think you'll slog day and night like a school kid because you want a job.If you don't know what else to doIf you suffer from a chronic case of brain damageIf you are like that uncool kid who thinks it's cool to be in DTU.If you want to chill in hot hot Delhi.If you want to do an MBA eventually.If you are Chuck Norris.If you are a sadomasochist.If all you got through to is IP University.WHY YOU SHOULDN'T BE HERE:If you want a real education, and if you want to learn. DO a BSc. from DU, would work out better.If you want to be in a core branch and want to work hands on without having to beg for everything. ALso if you want good infrastructure for core engineering.If you can't stand nepotismIf you have a boyfriend/girlfriend hereIf you want to take IAS/IES/GATE coaching in Delhi. You can do that everywhere else, respect yourself.If you want to do an MBA eventually.If you're smart.If you don't like the Indian Babu culture.If you've never been here and someone else told you about DCE. It's not DCE any more! Do your research!If your parents think this is a cool college.If you can think beyond the trapdoor of placements.As always, this is my opinion as an active student here. This is a review, and not to be taken as a be all and end all advice. You should do your own research, see things for yourself and decide for yourself. Being from EE myself, i can't be totally fair to other branches so you should have a chat with someone who's here before coming here.Useful links:What practically feasible changes would you like to see in DCE/DTU?What are some of the worst viva experiences in DCE?Who are some of the better professors in DCE?Who is the worst professor in DCE?EDITS:The useful links were added later.I had mentioned about the Power Electronics and Analog electronics lab earlier, refer Chank's comment below. I have made changes regarding that.I have also corrected a few grammatical errors.I have marked other edits as 'UPDATE'.
